Instructions

    • 1

      Stand the broom on end, with the bristles pointing up.

    • 2

      Measure 6 inches down the handle from where it joins with the broom head.

    • 3

      Nail a 4-foot piece of 1-by-1-inch lumber across the broom handle at the measured point. This will be the arms of your scarecrow.

    • 4

      Dress the scarecrow in a long-sleeved shirt, T-shirt or dress. No stuffing is necessary, since this is your basic casual scarecrow.

    • 5

      Attach gloves to the ends of the arms with rubber bands.

    • 6

      Place a pair of groovy sunglasses on the broom head by poking the stems of the frames into the broom bristles. The broom head will act as head and hair in one.

    • 7

      Stand the scarecrow up by sticking the broom handle into the ground.

Tips & Warnings

  • Dress up your scarecrow according to the occasion. Put a tuxedo jacket on him for a formal affair, or dress her up in a cocktail dress, long gloves, earrings and a tiara.
